You can BLOCK subverses and users

submitted by Cynabuns to whatever 2.8 yearsJul 20, 2021 17:14:42 ago (+41/-2)     (whatever)*

Just a reminder that we have the ability to block users and subverses.

To turn off a user, go to their profile page to find the 'Block' button.

To block a subverse, the 'Block' button will be found in its sidebar.


Edit to add...
Another handy feature -
Hide posts
it's found just to the right of Comments.


Have a great rest of your day :)

If core users block everything they don't like it removes the potency of the voat immune system. The anon fags could start posting CP and other degenerate shit without setting off any alarms.
Picking a random user name is anonymous enough, It protects the users real identity while still providing a place to point the finger when they eventually cross the line beyond free speech into rope territory.
There are plenty of various chans that are anonymous they should go post there, If you're on voat, pick a name and own it.

Agreed. But it's still a vital feature to those who may not have the time to wade through.

I think you may have missed my point.
I'm anti anon sub, not anti blocking.
Some people are just obnoxious twats that need to be blocked, and some subs aren't worth wasting time on.

Block me you stupid faggot I missed your original point any one who is such a weak bitch thry need to block someone from reading mean text should just fucking give up on life you will not make it in the real world. Can't believe you got 14 up votes? I think you tricked people into thinking you were against blocking people because it makes voats immune system weaker. Then you turn around and say the opposite

You're being extremely disingenous.

Which has me extremely suspicious about your motivations.

I sometimes wish you wouldn't revert to grumpy old asshole mode when you recognize something as destructive, you always seem to counter-push as devils advocate on issues you know will be counter-productive to growing a community.

You've always been part of the problem. I guess you enjoy it.

This makes new Voat very different than old Voat.

It also strongly disinterest me in participating in new Voat.

Anon ruins communities. If the particular form of autism that enjoys constantly battling other autism & outright state sponsored subversion is allowed to take hold, new Voat will inevitably succumb to a similar outcome as old Voat.

I predict you will collectively regret this decision.

[ - ] Cynabuns [op] 2 points 2.7 yearsJul 21, 2021 09:29:49 ago (+2/-0)

Old voat had anon and blocking features. Not different in that regard at all. As for all the anon posts lately, I think they are not being used as "anon" was originally intended and that's too bad really.

[ - ] rage 0 points 2.7 yearsAug 5, 2021 23:40:03 ago (+0/-0)

You of all people should know that intended use is irrelevant with the chaotic mess that is autism.

[ - ] Cynabuns [op] 1 point 2.7 yearsAug 5, 2021 23:43:33 ago (+1/-0)

Yep, I know. Sometimes when all you have is a glass of water to put out a fire instead of a fire extinguisher, that's what you use. Some matters have been handled since this original post that make some of the features less needed, but thanks for your comment.

You haven't seen the @blumen4alles drama? @system actually protects him despite his pedoposting that rivals @JoeMcCarthy's if not worse. He actually implemented admin vote manipulation because he "feels" people are being abused by downvotes. There is no voat immune system here. TheVenerable is not Puttitout nor does he embrace the original Voat structure, policy, or spirit with how he meddles in user affairs. There's still a bunch of goats on Element chat that won't come here because of that fact.

To be quite honest, this is the same path Ruqqus took before it went to shit.

[ - ] Doglegwarrior 1 point 2.7 yearsJul 21, 2021 09:36:33 ago (+1/-0)

Only a complete faggot loser punk ass bitch would need to block people online what kind of bitch ass community is this? Voat brought back from the dead to become a land of faggot keyboard warrior.

One thing that I liked from OG Voat was the limit on the number of posts per subverse allowed on the front page/all. That would prevent forum sliding via anon posts without disrupting the site.

[ - ] Antiliberalsociety 4 points 2.8 yearsJul 21, 2021 05:29:04 ago (+4/-0)

OG Voat had the best policies to protect a free speech forum. Unfortunately this is not OG Voat.

I remember how old Voat wouldn't even let us block the spam at post level. Had to sit through endless garbage posts from the same maybe four people, and I would try to bait them with mean comments so they would respond and I could downvote them just one vote closer to the threshold where they wouldn't be able to annoy me any more. Glad that's in the rear view.

I do not see it as spam if it's in his own subverse regardless of whether it shows up in v/all/new. You are supposed to see everything if that's where you choose hang out :)

If you'd rather not see it, stay out of v/all/new. Or ignore his posts. Or hit the Hide button. Or block him or his sub.

I apologize. I added an edit to my first comment to you that didn't apparently stick to address the new users point you raised.

What I said was that system and I have had the convo before about what should appear to folks not logged-in, and that maybe it's time to have that conversation again.

That said, I think a new user is going to be sharp enough to see that it's all going to one sub.

If the only engagement one has with a user or a subverse is downvoating, then these should automatically get blocked for one once a ratio of 2:1 (downvoats:upvoats) is reached after a threshold of X votes.

Would solve a lot of whining around here.
